Me giving baking tips???? Geez.
I made sourdough focaccia this morning and I have two tips to pass along AND if anyone already does them, I'm taking your C@H stinkin' badge away for not telling.
The norm is to rub the b. pan with olive oil for focaccia dough for a nice crispy crust - but, a lot of times the bread sticks and annoys me.
A K.A tip - spray the pan with cooking spray first, then drizzle the olive oil over, then spread the dough. DUH.
2nd - and this is mine. We both love the crusty edges which form on focaccia, but I don't really like them when trying to make sandwichs with it. So, I cut about 1 1/2" strip off all four sides of each bread. And, now we have great sourdough focaccia bread sticks and each pan made 4 very nice sized rectangles for sandwiches!!

Retired and having fun writing cookbooks, tasting wine and sharing recipes with all my friends.
